RCC’s 2019 student projects

Thursday, December 19, 2019 - 15:30

Want to easily find locations mentioned in historic news articles? Or identify common themes and issues in the comment sections of modern online news stories?

These goals were part of two out of the 11 projects students—mostly from UQ’s School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE)—worked on this year with RCC supervision.

Ten students were involved in digital humanities projects, such as those mentioned above, and two students worked on software engineering projects.

Some of the digital humanities projects involved both an RCC supervisor and a supervisor from either UQ’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) or the School of Architecture (SoA).

UQ students interested in undertaking an RCC project are welcome to email us for more information: rcc-admin@uq.edu.au. 

The below table summarises RCC’s 2019 student projects:
